The Atlanta Braves make it official: Adonis Garcia is gone

The Atlanta Braves announced today that they have officially released infielder Adonis Garcia so that he could play in South Korea next season. The 32-year-old appeared in 52 games for the Braves in 2017 and 244 total over 3 seasons in the majors.

He hit an overall batting average of .267 which isn’t bad but keep in mind his explosive, but short, debut in 2015.
